Seriously though, scrapers are tied at the bottom of the net scum pool with spyware & trojan traps. I finally shut down a site a couple years ago that kept getting scraped to death.  |
You're a breath of fresh air. Thanks for your comments.
There's no question that when a scraper uses false information to procure domains, web hosts, software, and hides behind spamdexing havens like 'Class C IP Farms' (which protect their secret identitites) it's an uphill wild goose chase going after the scraper.
But there is a hard trail to: the hosts, registrars, payment processors, sponsors, and addressing their enabling (through acts and/or ommisions) of the scrapers can (and should) put them in the line of scrutiny as well.
Some things can be achieved with the given state of affairs, but by applying some constructive attention to the problem may yield some new tools for us (scrapees) to deal with scrapers more effectively.
What makes stopping scrapers so hard?
I'm getting some interest from webmasters who have been scraped and still refuse to accept that there isn't anything we can do about it.
Step-by-step case studies are coming up next..
